So, my friend, Geoff, calls me out of the blue and asks me if I want to go with him to check out Brookside Gardens, a well-known (to everyone but me, apparently) public garden in Montgomery County, Md.
Well the lazy gardener would have just cut the vines at the ground and left nature to do its own devices. That would have taken no more than 45 minutes. Clearly, the Type A (OCD?) Gardener is not in sync with that approach. I am glad that my advice has now provided you a large new canvas on which to impose your gardening will. There is a certain joy to seeing a fresh layer of mulch accompanied by an awkward feeling that you are that guy in the GEICO commercial.
Mother Nature gets all the credit. The postscript to this blog is Garcia Landscaping is cutting down three trees and removing all the yard debris today. Mulch day may be as soon as today! No doubt one of the best days of the year.

This was a great, heart warming post! Thanks to Geoff, great idea. You must be proud of all your efforts!!
